How to play
Helia Yone
Enemy team will not check your items right away, so you are gonna be focused in fights. You can use it for your advantage.
You can support your team also by drawing attention in fights. Use Soul Unbound (E), pretend going after enemy carries, go back.
You can also be pretty good peeler. Stack Mortal Steel (Q), knock enemy up and follow up with Fate Sealed (R). Or counter enemy engagement with your R.
General
This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion - even those without healing or shielding abilities!
Play aggresively, stack Echoes of Helia and heal!
Items
Get Echoes of Helia #1. Then you need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
Usual item order: Echoes of Helia -> Moonstone Renewer -> Redemption -> Locket of the Iron Solari then adapt.
Counter enemy team, go more support or go more damage. You can even build some tank items if needed.
Buffing your team
Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
Bandlepipes is a good new item that gives MS and buffs your allies Attack Speed when you slow/immobilize enemies. Good for your auto attackers.
Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your support abilities.
Adaptation
Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.
Tips and Tricks
Champion
Always keep stacking your Mortal Steel (Q).
Enemy attacking your turret, and you are the only one alive? Just use Soul Unbound (E) and take portal (frost-gate) to get their attention and defend your turret.
Yone ARAM combo #1: use Soul Unbound (E) get close to your enemies, then hit them with Mark (Snowball). When E ends, you can teleport bac to them.
Yone ARAM combo #2: hit Mark (Snowball), use Soul Unbound (E), teleport to them to deal damage, then E to your original position. Good for poke.
